WRD Documentary
This project was focused on what college students found appropriate to put onto their social media, especially Facebook. This documentary wasn't done to make any college students feel judged, only to make them think about how what they upload says about them to others. It was difficult to refrain from letting my opinion influence the video. Some of the people I interviewed I felt just answered the questions with what they thought I wanted. It was difficult to prompt the interviews as well, without influencing the answers. With more time I would have liked to follow up with the interviews after doing a thorough search of their Facebook. I found after going through some of their facebooks they had lied in their interview. They were not only obviously drunk, but there were beer cans in the picture with him as well. 

Shooting Schedule

I will be shooting all next week, most likely Tuesday and Thursday will be when I get the most of my interviews done because that is when I usually go to my sorority house.
I will, on Monday,  be interviewing a few people from my dorm through out the week.
 I will, on wednesday, take shots of people walking on their cellphones, scrolling through facebook, twitter, and instagram timelines of people that post different kinds of things.

I will not ask the same exact questions to everyone I interview because that would be a bit dull to watch for the viewer. I will; however, have a conversation with the person I am interviewing on camra about my topic so that they become comfortable and then if they say anything good i will hav it on camera. Then i will get into actually asking the person questions.

Documentary: What is deemed appropriate to put on social media according to the college student.

In my Documentary I am going to interview many different types of students at the University to see what they deem appropriate to put on social media. I will be sure to interview students with as many different beliefs as possible to ensure that every aspect can be understood and an opinion by the viewer can be made without prejudice on what is appropriate and what is now.

I will not make this a very serious documentary  in that I want it to feel like a laid back conversation that will make the viewer giggle as well as think. The type of documentary where the poit sneaks up on the audience at the end. I will achieve this by asking outlandish but topic grounded questions. I will shoot in the light, and the music in the background will be easily recognized and popular songs. I want this documentary to be relatable, I want the audience to be able to laugh with the interviews see them as someone they might befriend.

I will pace in pictures from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram outlining the popular Dos and Don'ts according to those that have been interviewed in the film. While the interviewer is speaking I will have the pictures going so that the film is dynamic and less awkward, because I recognize the the speakers will often feel uncomfortable on camera.

Dark Days

In the documentary Dark Days the sounds are what really make it real. The constant changing between silence of the underground, the intensity of the subway flying through, and the voices of those who live underground. The silence to me was the most disturbing; I couldn't live in such a quiet place of darkness, never know what was lurking, or as was shown in some scenes crawling. The silence was often broken by the, in my opinion, too loudly recorded subway or sometimes by the voices behind the sad stories of those that dwell underneath the ground. 

The documentary was shot in black in white, which for me did nothing because I struggle to watch black and white movies. However, I do believe that it added to the idea of the documentary because they lived in the dark color doesn't really exist and everything about their lives was so routine and in a sense black and white.  The black and white also help to create the very somber mood that seemed to dwell in the underground. 

Most of the people depicted in the documentary were filmed in conversation instead an interview style. Therefor the audience feels as if they are getting to know the people through real life interactions instead of through an interview where the person could answer the questions according to how they wanted to be perceived instead of as they truly are.

The Weary Kind

 "Whisky has been the thorn in your side// it doesn't forget"

"Your body aches//Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate//The days and the nights all feel the same"

"And this ain't no place for the weary kind//This ain't no place to lose your mind//This ain't no place to fall behind" 

"Your lover's warm kiss//Is too damn far from your fingertips//You are the man that ruined her world" 

"Your heart's on the loose//You rolled them seven's with nothing to lose//And this ain't no place for the weary kind" 

 "Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try"
